wow first black chinese ive seen!!!
Extract from the newslink att at post #99.Many Chinese remain unaware that certain forms of behaviour and language are unacceptable in multicultural societies elsewhere. In Hong Kong one of the biggest-selling toothpaste brands was called Darkie, its trademark being a caricature of an Al Jolson-type smiling black man with gleaming white teeth. Overseas protests eventually led to the name being changed to Darlie.
why dont you share with us what you know about malay and chinese ethnic issue?Chinese racism is well known - as I had pointed out before, look at some of the issues occurring in Malaysia between ethnic Malay and Chinese!

China's black pop idol exposes her nation's racism
Interesting, what?From pursuit of being the upper
to being the lower
When han chinese are in conflict, they don't look for fairness or justice, but look for the rank difference. Han chinese relationship is characterized with the upper and the lower, and the upper has every right to act freely without any duty in conflict, while the lower has to take every duty and responsibility for anything. It makes the upper to "enjoy a life" and the lower to live in hell. Then all of the lower
wants to release the pressure from the upper, and everybody wants to be the upper.
So you can see han chinese arrogantly rebuke the victim after offending, han chinese educate the victim to be moral to tolerate the offending, han chinese scold the victim if the latter resists, han chinese blame the victim on "provoking",
han chinese feel so proud if they offend others, han chinese think it proving their higher social rank to treat others rudely, while think it proving their lower social rank if they need to treat others politely, han chinese get paid respect to after offending others, and get despised after get offended, the offender does nothing wrong.
......
On the other side, when the victims get offended, they are under great han chinese morality pressure to give up resisting the offending, their family members or relatives oppress the victims more than the offender, the victim does nothing right.
......
The "benefit" of being the upper, and the "punishment" of being the lower, makes han chinese to "struggle" to be the upper. They can do everything to reach "the great life goal". Han chinese think they have to "live the hardest life of the hard to become the upper" "åƒå¾—苦ä¸è‹¦ï¼Œæ–¹ä¸ºäººä¸Šäºº", and look for every reason to prove themselves the upper whatever the fact is.
...
They can prove china the upper nation, though there are hundreds of million people spend less than 1 US dollar on daily life. They can prove han chinese the upper race comparing to the beast race of Manchu, though they had got conquered and ruled by Manchu for hundreds of years. Even, some of han chinese think the Manchu conquest just helped them to expand their territory. And how do they think about the comfort troops and the comfort women? "It is our wise tactics or great strategy to fight against Japanese invaders!" Some of them will proudly tell you. Or it shows "han chinese soft power". They could defeat the
invaders with their soft body in soft bed. Anyway, it proves han chinese the upper race, and the invaders stupidly lower.
But the race of higher rank pursuer had to be the lower race for times and for centuries.
They had to build the long fence (长城 great wall) to enclose themselves. They didn't act like the upper.
They had to defend themselves after getting defeated again and again in their own land for hundreds of years in Song dynasty. It cannot prove them the upper.
They had to live under Mongolian rule for 89 years in Mongolian Yuan Empire. Han chinese was the forth class, the lowest class, in that empire. Despite han chinese described themselves the superior race living in the superior land(人æ°åœ°çµï¼‰, despite their great land was so fertile, despite they outnumbered their rival so much, they had to kneel as slaves of the "barbarian race of Mongolian", and their women had to comfort Mongolian men for so many years.
They had to live under the Manchu rule for 267 years in Manchu Qing Empire. Similar to Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, han chinese population was more than 30 times of its rival Manchu, plus they had their immense fertile "central land". But the superior race even could not have their hair cut freely.
They worked as comfort women and comfort troops (伪军,慰安军)for the
dog-fathered small Japanese monsters(狗日的å°æ—¥æœ¬é¬¼å, which is one of the most famous, most popular, han chinese "patriotism" idioms).
How can a upper rank pursuer race be the lower race in international conflict?
They weaken their national power when they fight against each others to be the upper, or when they cannot consider for each other to cooperate to fight against the invaders. They fight against each other much more than against the invaders.
Because they dream of the "upper life", they are psychologically weak. Most of them cannot fight for freedom to death, but uncontrollable kneel to violent death threat. They cannot be the upper after death, so when the death threat comes, they'd rather take the dishonor to kneel to keep the opportunity to be the upper one day. (留得é’山上,ä¸æ€•æ²¡æŸ´çƒ§ï¼‰They have no choice between freedom and death, but the choice between to kneel to live to possibly be the upper one day and to die without the opportunity to be the upper.
They know nothing about social fairness, or know nothing about national honor, though they never forget to be the upper nation. They used to offend and get offended. They don't know what dignity or honor is. When they get invaded, they cannot be brave enough.
Han Chinese always create stress among themselves. So when they are in conflict with other nations, the government is not as "courageous" as they are when they oppress the lower in their society. The stress makes the upper han chinese to worry about the rising up from inside.
Han chinese are also morally lower than most of the races in the world, because the upper doesn't need to take the duty to be fair to the lower. The "freedom from morality" makes all of han chinese to be more and more immoral. (The lower class alway has the mental conflict between accepting the restriction for them and accepting the morally free upper class. In the end, all of them choose to be free from morality.)
Han chinese are also the lower in personality, attitude and behavior. If you visit china, you will find a lot of confessions in their country. The confessions (slogans) read "To be polite!" "To be civilized!" "To cede!" "Don't fight!" "To love
cleanness!"
Han chinese are also lower qualified. Because they don't need to find fact and truth to seek justice to treat each other fairly, comparatively, fact, truth, knowledge don't affect their lives as much as the upper/lower relationship does. Such a race can only stay in poor quality.

The concept of a bumiputra ethnic group in Malaysia was coined by activist Tunku Abdul Rahman. It recognized the "special position" of the Malays provided in the Federal Constitution of Malaysia, in particular Article 153. But, the constitution does not use the term "bumiputra"; it defines only "Malay" and "aborigine" (Article 160(2)),[1] "natives" of Sarawak (161A(6)(a)),[2] and "natives" of Sabah (Article 161A(6)(b)).[2] Definitions of bumiputra in public use vary among different institutions, organizations, and government departments and agencies.
Companies listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (Bursa Saham Kuala Lumpur) must have 30% bumiputra ownership of equity to satisfy listing requirements. Foreign companies that operate in Malaysia also must adhere to this requirement.
For a limited period, a certain percentage of new housing in any development has to be sold to bumiputra owners. Housing developers are required to provide a minimum 7% discount to bumiputra buyers of these lots. This is required regardless of the income level of the potential buyer. Remaining unsold houses after a given time period are allowed to be sold to non-bumi if the developer proves attempts have been made to fulfill the requirement. There is no bumiputra discount on existing housing.
A basket of government-run (and profit-guaranteed) mutual funds are available for purchase by bumiputra buyers only. The Amanah Saham Nasional (ASN) has return rates approximately 3 to 5 times that of local commercial banks.
Many government-tendered projects require that companies submitting tenders be bumiputra owned. This requirement has led to non-bumiputras teaming up with bumiputra companies to obtain projects, in a practice known as "Ali Baba". Ali, the bumiputra, is included solely to satisfy this requirement, and Baba (the non-bumiputra) pays Ali a certain sum in exchange.
Projects were earmarked for Malay contractors to enable them to gain expertise in various fields.
Approved Permits (APs) for automobiles preferentially allow bumiputra to import vehicles. Automotive companies wishing to bring in cars need to have an AP to do so. APs were originally created to allow bumiputra participation in the automotive industry, since they were issued to companies with at least 70% bumiputra ownership. In 2004, The Edge (a business newspaper) estimated that APs were worth approximately RM 35,000 each. They also estimated that the late Nasimuddin Amin, the former chairman of the Naza group, received 6,387 in 2003, making him the largest single recipient of APs. More than 12,200 APs were issued in 2003. In addition to APs, foreign car marquees are required to pay between 140% to 300% import duty.
See some of Ray's posts.why dont you share with us what you know about malay and chinese ethnic issue?
how do u comment on Bumiputra, which is preferential for the 'majority', while discriminatory against the minorities in economy and education? is it a symptom of 'racism'?largely exacerbated by the policies favouring ethnic Malays over others, creating a fertile ground for ethnic tension.
i am not completely ignorant of this issue, but i wanted some other views. im well aware of the anti Chinese riots. however, it happen in Indonesia as well. possibly Philippines. Chinese economic dominance in South East Asia before the Asian Financial Crisis (and even to some extent now still) is well known. the natives got jealous, resented it and rioted. that is what i know.See some of Ray's posts.
From what I understand talking to people from the major ethnicities' from the region, Chinese feel that they have contributed the most to Malaysia, feel that they do not wield enough power in Malaysia compared to ethnic Malays, whom they see as comparatively lazy and leeching off the successes that the Chinese have made. This is largely exacerbated by the policies favouring ethnic Malays over others, creating a fertile ground for ethnic tension.
It is tough to document cases of racism - you really have to meet with people from the region and discuss it with them. Even searching online will help you find umpteen cases of racism - going both ways, but it is hard to quantify the racism.
there is some valid points in whoever wrote that, but most of it is wrong.Interesting, what?
Let's introspect.
It is a matter of perception.Chinese history is marred with traitors and executions of the ones who were obliterating the enemies. sad, but true.
there is some valid points in whoever wrote that, but most of it is wrong.
1. the defeats of Song to Jin and Ming to Manchu are severely misunderstood. note that it was Mongol Yuan that defeated the Southern Song, not the Jin, who by that time had already fallen to the Mongol Song alliance. Also:
岳飛
A northern Chinese from a humble background, he participated in the Song's attempt to capture the Sixteen Prefectures in 1122 and defended Kaifeng after the Jurchen withdrew in 1127. Yue moved south with the other loyalist forces in 1129, and took an active part in during the Jurchen advance back across the Yangtze that year. He continued to advance in rank, and to increase the size of his army as he repeatedly led successful offensives into north China and put down bandits within Song territory. Several other generals were also successful against the Jurchen, and their combined efforts secured the survival of the dynasty. Yue, like most of them, was committed to recapturing north China.
Stone Lake: The Poetry of Fan Chengda 1126-1193 states, "...Yue Fei 岳飛 ([1103]-1141)...repelled the enemy assaults in 1133 and 1134, until in 1135 the now confident Song army was in a position to recover all of north China from the Jin ... [In 1140,] Yue Fei initiated a general counterattack against the Jin, defeating one enemy after another until he bivouacked within range of the Northern Song dynasty's old capital city, Kaifeng, in preparation for the final assault against the enemy. Yet in the same year Qin [Hui] ordered Yue Fei to abandon his campaign, and in 1141 Yue Fei was summoned back to the Southern Song Dynasty capital. It is believed that the emperor then ordered Yue Fei to be hanged."[38]

Yuan's military career reached its height when he defeated Nurhaci and the Manchurian army in the first Battle of Ningyuan. Nurhaci's son and successor, Huáng TáijÃ, was defeated by him in the second Battle of Ningyuan. However, Yuan was a tragic figure, and was executed by his emperor under false charges which Huang Taiji deliberately planted against him.
Huang Taiji publicly stated that he would never be able to beat Yuan in a fair game, thus, making the Chongzhen Emperor kill him was the only method to get rid of him. Just as the message of Yuan's death reach Huang Taiji's ears, he changed his state name from Jin to Qing and proclaimed himself Emperor Qing Taizong. Some historical information states that Huang Taiji feared Yuan's last word stating his soul will always guard Liaodong Peninsula: As the name Chonghuan, means Undying Flames, contains the element "Fire", he put the word Qing, meaning cleanse, which contains the element "Water", to overcome it; however, even if this is the case, the main reason is probably because the "Ming" of the Ming Dynasty contains the element "Fire" itself.

Chinese history is marred with traitors and executions of the ones who were obliterating the enemies. sad, but true.
2. bringing up the Japanese is pointless. for a country that modernized and attacked during a Civil War they never had any real hope of actually conquering and ruling China.
3. the person who wrote that just seems bitter against Chinese officials and corruption. although a random no author rant is not something i would take seriously if i were you.
4. i dont advocate for arrogance. but considering Tibetan, Mongol, Manchu, Uighur etc. were all once enemies of Han and looking at them now, i can say we have dealt with our historic enemies just fine.
5. if the whole point of these posts is to prove Chinese are arrogant or are racist theres no need.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinocentrism
we are well aware of all sorts of mentalities.
i personally do not think it is in Chinese nature to be a super power, as represented by the Soviets at their height and the United States.very interesting. all our chinese need to introspect. actually we had a lot of opportunities to be super power in history. however, due to various reasons, we missed that. right now is golden time for us chinese to go for that! let us look at things from broad long-term aspect of view, then everything will be all right.
French also derided the merchant class. They called them Petit Bourgeoisie."Confucius saw merchants and other middlemen as parasites, profiting on the work of the farmers and artisans who actually produced trade goods. An imperial fleet would not sully itself with such a lowly matter as trade."
Are you suggesting that the superpowers also hates China wherein they assist India?India uses the strategy of hating China to gain benefit from superpowers. In 50's, when Soviet Union split with China, India created border clashes with China to gain Soviet Union technology and military assistance. Nowadays, India wanted to gain US technology and military assistance they started creating this hating strategy again.
so you mean to say that just to gain Russian weapons India Attacked china and allowed them to capture territory that was supposed to be ours. Any wise man will get weapons first and then attack . perhaps Chinese people have some different logics to reach to conclusion.India uses the strategy of hating China to gain benefit from superpowers. In 50's, when Soviet Union split with China, India created border clashes with China to gain Soviet Union technology and military assistance. Nowadays, India wanted to gain US technology and military assistance they started creating this hating strategy again.
I read many comments of Mr. Badguy2000. Unfortunately, I found most of Badguy's comments are nonnutritive and filled of wrong information.guy, what daily life here tells me is quite different from what "ghost towns" googled tell you and Gorden Chang.
yes, quite of lots of houses might just "weekend/vacation house" and their hosts hardly live there except weekend/vacation. But most of those houses usually have been sold out .
In CHina, it is a quite common case that one mid-class family owns two houses,one for daily life and the other for vacation/weekend. or one is in cities and the other in their hometown.
For example, My parents usually live in Beijing with my eld brother,so their house in hometown are usally not occupied,so is it a "ghost house"?
For another example, I have bought one new house in one apartment here... there are over 600 suits of houses in the apartment. most of them were bought by those guys who work in the counties beside the city.
they just live in the houses here in weekends.
so u're trying to convince Indian friends that China can't be an enemy state to India with social disparity/property bubble/financial risk?Such phenomenon indicates that: 1) there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor, which will increase the instability of the society; 2) there is a big bubble in the real estate market in China, which is a big risk to the financial system.
